COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Franklin County jury found a man guilty of several charges related to firing multiple shots at a Columbus police substation and in a nearby neighborhood nearly two years ago.
Kaleb Queen, 35, was convicted of the following counts:
- One count of felonious assault
- Two counts of discharge over a prohibited premises
- Two counts of failure to comply
- One count of having a weapon under a disability
Queen pleaded not guilty to the charges by reason of insanity. The charges stem from an incident that happened on May 25, 2022.
Officers were inside the substation on East Woodrow Avenue when they heard a “deliberate” shot being fired into the building.
Officers went outside to see Queen drive away, then turned around and headed back to fire more shots at the substation.
Police got into cruisers and pursued Queen north on Parsons Avenue and throughout German Village before the high-speed chase ended. Police said at some point, Queen struck a bystander’s vehicle with gunshots.
No injuries were reported. No gunshots were exchanged between Queen and the police.
Queen will be sentenced on May 1. He could face a minimum sentence of 13 years and nine months in prison.
